But there is no box for petitioners mother or son in i864 form thats why its calculated as 3.  please note that my wifes father is the joint sponsor living in same residence where my wife lives

you wife would only been counted in her fathers household if they claim her on their taxes. Household size isn't about who is living in the house.

 

Petitioners mother is the joint sponsors wife. son's are dependents he puts 2. Please fill out right so not to avoid issues and delays.

 

he would put  1 for the beneficiary, 1 for himself, 1 that he is married, 2 for his dependents.

 

Sorry his household size is 5 forgot to add beneficiary.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are the "new poverty guidelines"?

The 2019 federal poverty guidelines were updated this month on the USCIS website. They were updated elsewhere for other purposes but USCIS adopted the 2019 ones now.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

"The information below represents the minimum income requirements when completing Form I-864, Affidavit of Support. These guidelines remain in effect from March 1, 2019, until new guidelines go into effect in 2020. "

Oh ok. I thought there was something newer that I was missing. I had read about T's proposal to raise it to 250%, and was afraid that that is what OP was referring to. I'm relieved. Thank you!

There's still no formal update on that policy. I'm curious if (and what parts of) it will be adopted too.

Thanks I never read that part. I took my info from another site which now, of course, I cannot find.

We're in 2019 now, so the most recent return for many of us would be 2018.

2017 is the most recent tax year up until the 2018 Tax Filing Deadline on April 15th, 2019. Up until then you can submit/provide 2017 or 2018 Tax Returns as most recent filing year.

AFTER April 15th, 2019, 2018 Tax Returns will be considered the most recent tax year.

Had your interview Feb 4th, 2019?

Or will have it on April 2nd, 2019? (which 2/4/2019 does not say)

 

As long as your interview is BEFORE April 15th, 2019, you can submit 2017 or 2018 as most recent tax year.

AFTER April 15th, 2019, you can ONLY submit 2018 as most recent tax year.

You're welcome, sister!

CR1 or IR1 interview? Please clarify what kind of interview you are talking about when you post because the situation varies depending on the visa/application type.

You would have uploaded your Tax Return Transcripts and W2s to the NVC. Then you bring those copies to your CR1 or IR1 interview.

as per my info if (joint sponsor ) living in the same house then he needs to fill form i864A. In form I864A there is no house hold size option. its only available in I864 which the petitioner has to fill. please note that my wife is included as a dependent in her fathers tax returns
